Tampa Bay Rays Insights

• Nick Martinez – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
  When estimating his strikeout ability, the leading projection system (THE BAT) forecasts Nick Martinez in the 9th percentile among all starting pitchers in MLB.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available.
• Cedric Mullins – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
  Cedric Mullins is an extreme flyball hitter and faces the weak outfield defense of Minnesota (#3-worst of the day).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
• Yandy Diaz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)
  Today, Yandy Diaz is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 9th-deepest CF center field fences given that he hits his flyballs towards center field at a 38% rate (79th percentile).
  Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

Minnesota Twins Insights

• Minnesota Twins – Moneyline (-110)
  The Minnesota Twins outfield defense grades out as the 3rd-worst among every team today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Byron Buxton – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)
  Byron Buxton has a ton of pop (99th percentile) if he makes contact, but that’s never a sure thing (29.1% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Nick Martinez is a pitch-to-contact type (19th percentile K%) — great news for Buxton.
  Explain: If he is less likely to strikeout, he’ll be more likely to make contact, which is often hard, home-run contact.
• The Minnesota Twins have 3 bats in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Byron Buxton, Matt Wallner, Tristan Gray).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
